College Football Hall of Fame, Atllanta

Outside my hotel window there was a giant football shaped building just had to take a look... StringGirl and HopsJoe (Hopfn-seop) pose with the Football shaped museum It's apparently the College Football Hall of Fame Experience - by Chick-fil-a That's a lot of helmets, of all the folks we met there no one was stumped to find there team The large presentation hall is Gridiron style Heisman lays out StringGirl with the old Stiffarm Classic to modern helmet designs Lou Holtz playbook, quick memorize it! Fans sure don't dress the way they used to Interactive media wall reacts to the fans, showing them their Alma Mater (or any team indicated upon arrival) It works, While they had the logo and helmet of the Huskies no team photos or fan photos Ha ha ha  

Experimenting with digital camera and the infra-visible light spectrum

 Over the years I have owned and broken many digital cameras.  Mostly point and shoot simple versions burt a shame none the less. Broken displays (2)-dropped at Disney and broken in back pocket Burnt out power sources (1)- placing batteries backward in the camera  Obsolete media (1)-floppy disk camera Jammed lens motor (1) I always feel bad having broken the tech and have horded the damaged goods in some cases for years. Alas at some point I do need to toss the stuff out; or do I? I stumbled upon an Instructable to convert crappy old digital camera into an IR or Near-IR camera.  Digital photo as captured to SD card- no digital manipulation or changes Finally a way to make use of the Hoard or broken and obsolete digital cameras... the patient was my Canon PowerShot A 400 with a cracked display I figured that not having a display would also be a throwback to the predigital days when we took our pictures without the ability to preview the result...
